The eldest son is fierce

With just one sentence, Yan Shuangyu exploded on the spot.

She instantly pounced on Tang Yi viciously, her hands almost touching Tang Yi's face as she spoke word by word: "Little beast, it's all because I was too kind that you are still alive and fighting against me."

"If I had known this, I would have killed you long ago, and none of this would have happened."

Tang Yi nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a pity that there is no chance now."

"You..." Yan Shuangyu raised her hands in anger.

Tang Yi stood still, the smile on his face still there, but his calm eyes seemed to contain murderous intent as turbulent as the waves.

Yan Shuangyu raised her hand but didn't dare to hit him.

"Tsk tsk, Madam Tang Er, where are your gold hairpins and jewelry?"

Tang Yi pretended to be confused, then patted his forehead as if he suddenly understood something: "Look at my temper. I pawned all my jewelry to pay off my debts, right?"

"How pitiful! How can Madam Tang Er pretend to be so elegant and graceful?"

Tang Yin blinked, took off the butterfly gold hairpin from her head and handed it to Yan Shuangyu: "Don't cry, Second Mother, Yinyin has a lot of jewelry now, this one is for you."

"This was designed by my brother and made by Sister Ling Fei. I love it."

"It's the gold and jade jewelry given by Uncle Emperor and Aunt Xianfei. I don't like them very much..."

When Yan Shuangyu heard this, she felt all the blood in her body rushing to her head, and her face turned purple with anger.

She was so angry that she was shaking and pointing at Tang Yi and Tang Yin, unable to speak.

Tang Jing's face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect that the Emperor and Concubine Xian would be so nice to Tang Yin, even calling her Uncle Emperor and Aunt Xianfei.

Du Lingfei glanced at Tang Yi, then at Tang Yin, and couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

You two brothers and sisters, are probably devils?

One can kill people with his words, and the other one has good intentions but can kill people with his knife.

"No, the market value of this gold hairpin is only five hundred taels. It's not worth much. Madam Tang Er wouldn't look down on it."

Tang Yi snatched the golden hairpin from Tang Yin's hand and put it back into her hair: "Besides, this is a gift my brother prepared for you. How can you just give it away to anyone?"

Tang Yin pouted and said, "Hmph, I didn't mean to give it to you. I'm not stupid."

I just did it on purpose to piss off Er Niang, no, to piss off Er Mo Tou.

Tang Yi ignored Yan Shuangyu and looked at Tang Jing and said, "Minister Tang... No, Shao Yin Tang, have you paid off your debt?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Jing was so angry that his breathing became rapid. This was like poking at his lungs.

The national treasury had 100,000 taels, the underground bank had 100,000 taels, a total of 200,000 taels of silver. He sold fields, land, and shops, sold more than 20 servants, and pawned all the valuables of the Tang family before he finally raised 200,000 taels to pay back the debt.

Now, the entire Tang family is truly penniless.

"You don't have to worry about it. The debts owed to the national treasury and the underground banks have been paid off." Tang Jing said gritting his teeth.

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not reminding you. I want to tell you that you now owe another 500 dan of grain. Find a way to pay it back quickly."

"If you don't pay it back within three days, the Imperial Guards will come and confiscate your property."

Boom!

Tang Jing was petrified instantly as if he had been struck by lightning.

Only then did he remember that Tang Yi had made a bet with all the officials today, and the bet was about 500 dan of grain.

Now he is working in Jingzhao Prefecture, which means he is far away from the court, but he is still a direct descendant of Prime Minister Fan Yong.

Because of this relationship, he would not be able to escape with the 500 loads of grain.

Five hundred dan of grain, when converted into silver, is nearly six hundred taels. But now the Tang family finds it difficult to even come up with six taels of silver, let alone six hundred!

"You unfilial son, are you trying to force me to death?" Tang Jing roared.

Tang Yi stared at Tang Jing, his eyes gradually sharpening. "This is just the beginning. Can't Tang Shaoyin stand it? Then Tang Shaoyin needs to get used to it. After all, this kind of thing will become commonplace in the future."

He raised his hand and pointed at his head, saying, "During this time, some memories that were buried deep in my memory keep popping up from time to time, constantly reminding me of how you forced my mother to die of depression."

"As a son, it would be unacceptable for me not to seek justice for her."

After saying that, Tang Yi hugged Tang Yin, took Du Lingfei and turned to leave.

Looking at Tang Yi's back, Tang Jing's face gradually turned pale, but Yan Shuangyu was still throwing a tantrum.

"Tang Yi, come back here. Did I let you go? Do you have any manners?"

"Get back here! I'm telling you, hurry up and rescue the painting for me."

"He's your brother, he's your brother!"

"..."

Yan Shuangyu kicked her legs and jumped up, roaring at Tang Yi.

Tang Yi ignored him and went straight back to the west courtyard.

"Tang Jing, are you dead? Hurry and ask him to save Hua'er!"

Seeing that Tang Yi ignored her, Yan Shuangyu's anger instantly shifted to Tang Jing, and she grabbed Tang Jing's collar and shook him hard.

Snapped!

Tang Jing raised his hand and slapped Yan Shuangyu in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"shrew!"

Tang Jing glanced at Yan Shuangyu coldly and walked away.

Yan Shuangyu fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands, her eyes fierce and resentful.

"Okay, you guys forced me to do this. You guys forced me to do this."

"If you don't let me live a good life, then no one else will live a good life!"

……

West courtyard.

When Tang Yi returned to the west courtyard, he saw that the table was already set with fine wine and delicious food.

After holding Tang Yin and washing his hands, the three of them went to the table to eat. It must be said that Du Lingfei's cooking skills are very good. He only gave her a brief introduction to the dishes of later generations, but she actually cooked them all.

"Sure, you actually managed to make the chicken essence."

After taking a bite, Tang Yi was shocked. He tasted the stir-fried pork made with chicken essence and soy sauce, and it tasted very good.

But he only taught Du Lingfei the theory of chicken essence and improved soy sauce, but he didn't expect Du Lingfei to actually figure it out.

"I made the chicken essence according to your method, using old hens to boil and mix it."

"Soy sauce is also processed and tastes better than what's on the market now."

"The oil is made from lard. The reception building has been renovated and all the pots, pans, bowls and chopsticks are ready."

"Now, there should be no problem in opening the business."

Du Lingfei helped Tang Yi fill a bowl of rice and said with a smile, "Also, Tianxianglou just sent someone over. The drinking competition is over, and your distilled liquor won first place."

"With your current fame in Kyoto, the opening will definitely be packed with people."

Drinking contest?

If Du Lingfei hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.

How could he not win first place? Didn't he even consider how much wine he had used to "bribe" Mr. Wei? If he didn't help promote the product, would that be justifiable?

"Thank you for your hard work, but compared to the opening of the business, there is something more important that needs your help."

Anyway, I owe Du Lingfei enough, so I can only owe her more. At worst, I can repay her with my body in the future.

He looked at Du Lingfei and said, "You are familiar with the Secret Service. Ask them to help me keep an eye on Kyoto tonight. I think the crime rate in Kyoto will increase more than tenfold tonight."

"Although I asked the Jinyiwei to keep an eye on it, Kyoto is too big and they may not be able to keep an eye on it all."

Du Lingfei was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Tang Yi meant.

Tang Yi wanted to legislate, which slapped the faces of those ministers. Neither the big families nor the ministers would let him take office so easily.

"Okay, I'll tell Yumu."

"However, I think they will consult His Majesty first."
